Cubs rock Wainwright, spoil Cards' home opener Cubs-Cardinals recap from game played on April 13, 2012 Cubs Getting Strong Starting Pitching but Little Run Support: Fan's Take Finally, the Chicago Cubs combined offense and strong starting pitching. On Thursday, April 12, the Cubs offense exploded in the third inning and scored six runs on the way to an 8-0 rout of the Milwaukee Brewers.

Chicago Cubs' High Pitch Counts a Concern: Fan's Opinion Chicago Cubs Chicago Cubs' Marlon Byrd Hitting .048 Through Six Games in 2012, Brett Jackson Awaits His Turn: Fan's Take Chicago Cubs outfielder Marlon Byrd is off to a slow start in the 2012 MLB season. Through six games, Byrd is 1-for-21 with a .130 on-base percentage (OBP), two walks and two RBI. This continues a downward trend in Byrd's production since he was hitting .313 at the end of July 2011. Byrd only hit .250 in August and .182 in September. His OBP has also fallen in each month since then. Cubs rout Wainwright early in 9-5 win Starter allows eight runs in three innings, regrets that he let down Cardinals fans.

Ugly Cubs start could get uglier Veteran Cubs fans readily remember looking ahead at the schedule in the spring of 1997 and thinking, "This could start badly." It did. The Cubs began that year 0-14. Don't look now, but the 2012 version of your Chicago Cubs is off to the worst start by a Cubs club since 1997.
